As another poster pointed out, the coder in question isn't owned by anyone.
I don't see how it's more or less moral to make the offer before or after the application. The coder's relationship with his existing team, and that teams product, should be compelling enough for the coder to stick with them.
If it isn't, then it's within his rights to move towards a better opportunity, and within someone else's rights to provide that opportunity.
That said, I think this post should have consisted of a simple, polite statement of caveman82's case. Comments about 'The Accuser' running to his mother are immature and only hurt Caveman82's reputation.
